Our Story
Anointed Honey began with a single hive and a simple promise: if we were going to care for bees, we were going to do it properly, with patience, respect, and responsibility. What started in one backyard has grown into a working apiary serving homes, farms, vineyards, and local partners across Santa Clara County.
Rooted in Andrew Gardner’s Navajo heritage and a Bee-First approach, our work is guided by stewardship, transparency, and care for the land. From hive hosting and colony management to raw local honey and pollinator education, every part of Anointed Honey is built around one belief: people, pollinators, and place are part of one connected story.
We're not the biggest beekeeping operation in the Bay Area, and we don't want to be. We want to be the one you can actually talk to.

Our Mission
